OMG- what a disappointment! While the rooms are comfortable and clean there are few amenities in the actual facility. Only 2 of 4 floors have ice machines, there are NO soft drink vending machines ANYWHERE in any of the 3 buildings. There is no basic food or beverage of any kind to be had on the property so you have to dress to go to a local establishment or call a restaurant for delivery. I was told I could go to the CVS for what I need….really? I had to ask the front desk if there was a bar and told there was one in the other building. There is no hotel directory so I needed to ask about the gym location…it is in the other building also. How is one to know these facts when no info is provided on the website, at check-in or in the room. We would have stayed elsewhere had we known the basics were not available. It’s costly to stay here and the simplest of amenities are not offered. The front desk was apologetic, said others have also complained about the lack of vending machines ( yes, there is plenty of space for a Vending machine in the ice machine room). I was given 2 small bottles of the water to take to my room as the only water available is from the bathroom sink. I will never stay here again nor will I recommend Historic Inns of America Annapolis.
I brought my son down for football camp at Naval Academy. This hotel was perfect for us. Check in was friendly and quick. Parking is $29 a night and conveniently located. There is a little store with snacks and drinks adjacent to the check in desk. There is also a small restaurant in the lobby for HH drinks and food and breakfast. The breakfast starts before 7 AM which was convenient for us. The room was comfortable and very clean. It had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and safe. There was a fitness center right n our floor. There was an outdoor pool as well which we didn't use this time. We were able to walk to all the stores and restaurant on the water where we had dinner. We also walked to the Naval Academy (about a 20 minute walk, with all beautiful houses and nice stores to look at on the way). We will definitely stay here again.
The rooms are so happy, quirky, and enjoyable to be in. The valet staff is superb; kind and professional. Hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly. The architecture and design of the lobby and common areas is very open and aesthetically pleasing; it doesn’t feel like a traditional hotel. It’s casual and stylish. Hotel has a great sense of humor and a solid brand.
